@hopesfallband was a band I’d seen live before but didn’t get into them until well after they’d broken up and after their reunion shows back in 2011. Sometime in 2013, I was looking for new bands to check out and decided to go back and revise bands I had missed in my formative years. With #Hopesfall , I began with their debut record called #TheFrailtyofWords (which is another cool story) and then I heard #nowingstospeakof and was floored. The intensity and rawness of the songs were everything I absolutely adored as a teenager and these 4 songs were a very special moment in time. Even though the songs were written a decade before I’d heard them, they resonated with me and I was completely taken by them. Their original frontman, Doug Venable, had these powerful screams that just sent chills down my spine. The guitar work is so ambient but at moments could breakdown and get heavy in the vein of melodic hardcore and screamo. What this band did along with their peers in Beloved was something that could simply not be replicated and was so ahead of their time. I can’t help but wonder what these songs would sound like with modern production because the time that these songs were released were already so abrasive but melodic. This EP is extremely hard to find and at only 549 copies of this light green marble variant, when one does go on sale, it’s usually for $$$. This was released by #onedaysaviorrecords under exclusive license by #trustkillrecords . A melodic masterpiece and truly a gem. I highly recommend this to all that enjoy learning current heavy music’s roots and how insanely passionate this band was. They truly did it for no other reason than they just wanted to release their art. A beautiful record. #vinyl#vinyljunkie#coloredvinyl#vinylcollection#vinyligclub#vinylcollector#vinyligcommunity#records#recordcollection#recordcollector#posthardcore#hxc#screamo

*ANNOUNCEMENT*
We regret to announce that our Guitarist Ryan has come to the decision to depart from Eternalist. This decision was made by Ryan due to everyday life not allowing him to be as invested in the band as he would like. There is no bad blood over his decision what so ever, we all still consider Ryan a dear friend and would like to thank him for all the tireless effort and hard work he put into the band, helping us move forward over the years and for all the sacrifices he made during his time with the band. With Ryan’s departure we would like you all to know that this will not slow us down in anyway, we are moving forward stronger then ever before. We will be continuing Eternalist as the original lineup of Nic, Pete, Zac & Jayden for the foreseeable future. We have lots of things planned for the future. Thanks to Ryan and everyone who have helped us along the way.
Stay tuned as we sail towards new horizons... there’s a lot more of Eternalist to come!
